External Serial Rate
Control
The Viper Pro is capable of receiving serial rate information from an external source to control product
application. One source of external serial rate information is the GreenSeeker® RT200 by NTech Industries,
Inc. The Viper can be set up to receive serial rate information from the GreenSeeker® RT200 on the Viper
auxiliary comm port. The rate information fed to the Viper is stored in the application report and can be
obtained by exporting the shapefile or bitmap using the file maintenance feature on the Viper Pro field
computer.
The Viper Pro can be configured either as a CANbus system or the Viper Pro can be connected to a Raven
serial console. Set up for either configuration with the Viper product control system is the same as without
external serial rate control. Ensure that the Viper product control is configured properly before using an
external serial rate source.

Note: If a serial console is connected to the Viper Pro, the Console Comm Port screen displays. Touch
